Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I have a ship fit that has 4 active shield modules. I have, like most advanced players, my passive modules hidden at all times. However, with alot of active tank modules, its frustrating to try to get them turned on after jumping a gate.

Can we PLEASE be able to stack active tank modules and active all of them with ONE hot key. I would like to be able to stack my damage control by itself and the active shield modules in one stack by theirself. This way, if I'm neutralized, I can QUICLY choose which modules to get back on first.

It would be perfect if we could make custom buttons in general, like macros in other games. It should be handled with care, though, and not give us too much scripting power, so the game doesn't become more AFK-friendly than it already is.

For instance, I wouldn't mind being able to make a custom module group that activates one Armor Repairer immediately and waits half a cycle before activating the second one. It's a pure first world QoL problem, for sure, but it would be nice to have.

What you're asking is even simpler though and it blows my mind how it hasn't made it in the game yet.

have an "activate rack" button like the overheat rack button to activate all mods in that rack at once, regardless of module duration.

well with the activate rack button u could assign what active mods u wont mind being activate all at once (for example all hardeners) and have ur boosters for example on another rack =)

Ive wanted this for years. Many times have i dual/tripple/quad-boxed logi and have to sit there and activate 4-5 active modules on each character just to have the tank up. i want to be able to turn on my 2x invul's em hardener, explosive hardener, and my damage control all at the same time!

Why not inserd a Button to activate all Slots F1-F8 where normally the High Slots are, one for the Ctrl-key-combination and one for the Alt-key-combination (one of them is standard med-slots the otherone is standard low slots, but I´m dont remember know which one does which slots). Now you can place all Ship-to-Ship interaction moduls in the high slot buttons (Guns, Ewar, remote Repair/Shield/Cap...), your Hardeners or other permanent moduls in the med-Slots and Booster, Repair moduls or MWD/Afterburner in the low slot buttons. This way you can easily group all hardeners, so that after a jump you can activate them with one button, but are still able to turn one off, when you notice that there is no deals the specific damage. When you need a strong boost you just may press your all-low-slot button, but still have the option to only use one modul in case of Cap-warfare.

I hope my idea was understandable...

Edit: As I see Matricharch Prime got more or less the same idea, i didn´t understand it totaly. But i think the three racks are enough, cause you mostly only have some moduls for interaction with other ships, the permanent Hardeners and the short-time booster. The last group normally kills your Cap, the second group needs to be always on, and the first group need to be reactivate with every new target.
